Chemistry: aerosol cans into a fire?

Question

Describe using temperature, pressure, and/or volume why it is dangerous to throw aerosol cans into a fire.

Answer 1

Temperature and pressure expand rapidly, and volume cannot expand in a rigid container. So when it gets past the ability of the metal to contain it, it explodes and is very dangerous.

Answer 2

Warning: Contents under pressure
PV=nRT (Boyle's Law says that as Temperature goes so does pressure and volume- meaning if you throw an aerosol can into a fire the volume will keep expaning to a point where the can will rupture and catch fire.

Answer 3

Just remember it's all relative. PV=nRT. Where P=pressure, V=volume, n=amount (in moles) R=constant, and T=temperature (in Kelvin).
